The East Coast actually loves Mike Leach. It's voters in this area of the country (Mack Brown, Bob Stoops, Les Miles,et al) that never give Tech any credit. That's simply because it would take away from their own programs and recruiting.Leach has been featured in the NY Times Magazine more than once, and it good friends with Donald Trump. Tech gets plenty of love in NYC, Boston, Phillie, etc because the NYT likes to cover them. This game is a huge hurdle for Tech. A win will mean that our program has finally arrived. Hopefully we will be in Miami on January 8th and the Big 12 will have it's 3rd national title in football.
